In early August, 1919, in Munster, Ireland, armed Irish Volunteers ambushed an enemy patrol, killing two of their number, which prompted Westminster to attempt to stop any future rebel activity by specifically naming certain organisations as having been outlawed (!) in that specific area...!
Yes, indeed - that'll learn 'em!
And learn this you, yerself - on Wednesday, 13th August 2025, we'll be talkin' more about the above, and mentioning about a dozen instances where the outlaws (!) never learned their lessons either...
In the late 1970's and into the 80's, foreign companies in Ireland started to import their own workforce rather than employ the indigenous Irish, but cheaper wages wasn't the only reason...
Ireland, 1920's - existing British legislation to 'deal' with the Irish rebels was felt to be too soft, so new legislation was brought in which "limited civilian oversight..."
In the 1920's, political and military spin-doctors in Westminster designed a new method of "putting fire in the belly of its military and paramilitary groups and gangs in Ireland..."
So do, please, give us a shout back here on Wednesday, 13th August 2025, 'cause if'n ya don't, y'all be puttin' fire in our bellies to do somethin' about it...!
Thanks for the visit, and for staying long enough to read the above : hope to see ye all on the 13th.
Sharon and the team.
